Brief: City of Shamrock needs new city manager

SHAMROCK - The city of Shamrock needs a new city manager following the resignation of Danny Byrd on Sept. 7, said Shamrock Mayor Noel Walton.

The city is in the process of taking applications and resumes for the position, which requires a degree and/or managerial experience, he said.

Byrd resigned to take a job in Canyon, his former residence, Walton said. He had been working as Shamrock's city manager since February, Walton said.

There was no contract for Byrd's position, and he left the job soon after submitting his resignation to the city council, Walton said. No one has been filling in as the city manager since the resignation, he said.

No application deadlines have been set, but the city plans to have a city manager "as soon as possible," Walton said.
